Head coach Vincent Kompany has made a return to the Bayern Munich training ground following his collapse at the end of last month. The 40-year-old former Manchester City captain was rushed to hospital after falling ill while observing the club's second team in training.

Medical professionals diagnosed Kompany with meningeal irritation, which is an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Bayern stated: "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week."
The Bundesliga leaders did not conduct a training session, as the majority of players are currently away on international duty. During Kompany's absence, English coach Aaron Danks has been in charge, guiding Bayern to four victories and a draw. The team is scheduled to face Cologne on 20 November following the conclusion of the two-week international break.
